On My Own Again
Journey of Independence: On My Own Again
Lyrics
Got my old truck loaded right up with boxes and guitars
Preparing to leave with personal belongings and instruments in the truck.
Headlights pointed out the drive to who knows where
Heading into the unknown with the truck's headlights guiding the way.
Next to me in that shotgun seat suitcase and tequila
Accompanied by a suitcase and tequila in the passenger seat.
I'm rolling through the early morning street light glare
Driving through the early morning streets, illuminated by streetlights.
Pictures in my head are all of her I'm taking with me
Memories of a person (her) are the main thoughts taken on the journey.
Rest of it I left back in that house
Leaving behind the rest of the past life in a house.
Tomorrow when she wakes up, I wonder if she'll miss me
Speculating if she will miss the narrator when she wakes up the next day.
This time I ain't hanging 'round to find out
Determined not to linger and find out if she misses him.
I'm gonna drive until the wheels fall off this old truck in my heart
Intending to keep driving until facing a breakdown in the old truck.
If forever's gonna end like that, I guess I'd better start
Acknowledging the potential end of forever and the need to embrace it.
The rest of my life, like the best times, up around the bend
Committing to living the rest of life like the best moments in the past.
Oh-oh, on my own again (on my own again)
Expressing the feeling of being on one's own again.
I could turn left to California, ride to New York city
Considering various destinations like California, New York, or Mexico.
Hell, I could go to Mexico right now, if I want to
Highlighting the freedom to choose any path, even if it might get lonely.
And I know it might get lonely on my way out of here
Acknowledging the potential loneliness while leaving.
But as long as the windshields bigger than the rear view mirror
Emphasizing the importance of focusing on the present journey rather than the past.
I'm gonna drive until the wheels fall off this old truck in my heart
Reiterating the commitment to keep driving despite challenges.
If forever's gonna end like that, I guess I'd better start
Acknowledging the possibility of a challenging end to a long-term relationship.
The rest of my life, like the best times, up around the bend
Committing to living the rest of life with optimism and resilience.
Oh-oh, on my own again
Expressing the sense of being on one's own again.
Young and wild and free
Reflecting on the freedom and carefree nature of being young.
Riding like the wind
Describing the experience of riding freely like the wind.
Learning how to be, on my own again
Learning how to be independent and self-sufficient once again.
On my own again
Reiterating the theme of being on one's own again.
On my own again, mmhmm
Emphasizing the solitude and independence of being on one's own again.
I'm gonna drive until the wheels fall off this old truck in my heart
Reaffirming the commitment to keep driving despite challenges.
If forever's gonna end like that, I guess I'd better start
Acknowledging the potential end of a long-term commitment.
The rest of my life, like the best times, up around the bend
Committing to live the rest of life with optimism and embracing new experiences.
Oh-oh, on my own again
Expressing the sense of being on one's own again.
I'm out here on my own again
Stating the current status of being alone and independent.
On my own again, mmhm
Reiterating the theme of being on one's own again.
